Temecula, CA – This Halloween there seems to be a little
something for everyone here in T-town.

For the young Christians there are plenty of alternative
parties with non-pagan themes and fun available at a number of churches around
in the valley. if you are a member of one of these, I’m sure you know what’s
cracking at your pew.

Besides the Halloween themed local club scene, there will be
many house parties beside the usual ‘trick or treaters’ that descend on the
neighborhoods.

For those in the music scene, the scene anchored by The
Vault, that perennial punk/ska crew from Riverside, the VooDoo Glowskulls, will
be rocking a full Halloween show card at that venue.

However, this reporter is headed to investigate a report of
zombie Nurses, like the one pictured here, being spotted around parts of LA.

Temecula, CA – They say, everything comes to an end. For the
end of marijuana prohibition that is a good thing, for the only Dippin’ Dots
Ice Cream parlor located next to Shakey’s in the PalmPlaza, it’s not so good. At press time, it would
appear that the local dessert eatery is kaput.

Opened in 2005, June, the ice cream of the future saw a
debut month that shattered existing opening month records much the way Best Buy did in
the days of the pennant flags. Over the years the business helped to put three
girls through local colleges and keep a roof over the head of the Afghanistan
family who owned it.

Now in its 25th year, the idea of frozen dots of
ice cream, sherbets, and ices has been knocked off, but for over 8 years
locally, valley residents were treated to the original until today. There does remain the remote possibility of corporate takeover. After
the jump we take a look back at when the First Dot rolled into town.

Temecula, CA – The stats show a rise in police/civilian
shootings, especially in the poorer

gang-related areas, like places in Santa
Ana, but stats don’t provide a real clue, only a finger to point blame to the unarmed
civilian. The following reported lifted from MSNBC, filed By Richard Engel,
Chief Foreign Correspondent, NBC News, may offer a clue.

'A former Air Force drone operator who says he participated
in missions that killed more than 1,600 people remembers watching one of the
first victims bleed to death.'

Temecula, CA – If pot is the new gold, then food is the new
black. The low rungs of the 99% and

thrifty other ethnic groups/demos shop the
99¢ Store. Though appearing now on some scattered juice/bread brands in
places like Von’s and Albertson’s, warning labels concerning GMOs and High
Fructose Corn Syrup first turned up after Prop 37 at the 99¢ Stores indicating some food manufactures
heard the concerns of moms like Zen Honeycutt, pictured here pointing out data linking
autism to GMO pesticide.

NO GMO forces are pushing hard to make Washington State the next
state to put a NO GMO law in force and join 67 countries that
outlaw GMOs and their products.

Now my favorite big city, Los Angeles, is joining
the fight to do what’s right.

Temecula, CA – For these end times Jesus said, “Be aware”. That
theme is central to most of the articles posted here. Usually we cover things
like food, law bills, or politics.

You probably think that my favorite subject,
cannabis, is itself all the awareness you need if you are involved in the
medical movement.You would be wrong,
Sports Fans, on that account of late, for the weed of Ego grows now at the
heart of the ‘Legal Green In Fourteen’ movement to legalize recreational pot
use in California for 2014.

Though highlighted in
several recent stories here, there is a common misconception that all MMJ people
who don’t looked ‘jacked’ [disabled] in a wheelchair must be stoners, or
stoners pretending to be ‘sick’, that both market demos [stoners and MMJrs]
freely intermingle, and that both demos are well known to each other. All three
presumptions are completely erroneous.

Temecula, CA – When a band goes on hiatus, what do the
musicians do? Having talent and drive to

play music in public isn’t a product
made and distributed, cut and paste? Last night’s all ages music show at The
Vault, headlining Andrew W.K.,
answered that question in spades while providing yet another music memory for the
scene here.

So what does the lead-in picture to the right have to do
with this story? Well, the guy in the picture, Ivan of The Vault Concerts, is the guy who put Temecula on the music map
for young rockers as the ‘official’ Andrew
W.K. black tour tee showed on the back, for among stops like Portland,
Chicago, Denver, St. Louis, Detroit, and Cleveland, is Temecula, CA, Oct. 18. Woohoo!!

Temecula, CA – Hi new music lovers, this is DJ Catter. PT Rothschild
is up in LA somewhere ‘playing with the 420Nurses’ so like before about six
months or so ago, I’m here with some news of the first book review in for PT’s Memoirs,
currently available at CreateSpace’s online bookstore and of course, at Amazon
[@$2 off MSRP].

Several months after
the Doomsday 2012 official book release, PT was nosing around his friends who
had a copy hoping to get a written review. When released the book was somewhere
in the 3million mark from #1. We sat around, joked about it, and toked to Memoirs
being #1 on the NY Times bestseller list one day.

I am still fired up about last [10-3] Thursday night's game.See letter for details.The letter is longer this week, since I will
be taking some time off.Next letter
will be about October 29th.

The Fugitive will be out searching for the one-armed man for
a few weeks (remember, the real killer only got caught in the movie, and that’s
not reality).In a reverse Kung Fu
(David Carradine, R.I.P.) search, I’m headed to China in the continuing quest
to find my wife’s murderer.I should be
back and ready to kick out another newsletter on October 29th.In the meantime, please pay attention and
send me emails if you see anything really interesting.

[Youngsters say: “Who is David Carradine?”

Answer: Grasshopper (the name given to him by the blind Kung
Fu master who heard a grasshopper sitting at the student Carradine’s feet]

Temecula, CA – Occupy LA gave me the ability to compare the
T-town talents that I have seen for

years against the world marketplace that is
LA. True, there are a ton of bands but not many like the locals around here. However
I did see a couple of bands that I would say reminded me of the cutting edge music
around here. On Friday night at First Unitarian Church - Los Angeles, 2936 W
8th St, 90005, I will see Trevor Powers, whose stage name is Youth Lagoon.

He began his music career by writing his debut album The
Year of Hibernation in 2010.Based around the idea of psychological dysphoria, Powers tried to
document the trails of his mind through songs of minimalism and hypnotic
ambience.Powers later described his
writing process as "my mind communicating with me, not the other way
around...it can take me to scary places but I've realized those bizarre
thoughts I have don't define me."After signing with Mississippi-based label Fat Possum Records in 2011, he toured much of the following year
before going back into solitude to write.

Temecula, CA – The title for this new piece came from
watching the Today Show hosts first

sopping down the ‘drink more (fluoridated)
water’ campaign from the FLOTUS, a campaign also picked on by Steven Colbert
(the Calendar is in good company) though for a comic reason to get laughs.
Next, a few days later amidst all the controversy surrounding Robin Thicke’s
Blurred Lines, the show has Thicke on to rock the song’s suggestive
lyrics live. Even the fat weatherman rocked, or swayed it, haha!

And of course
Monsanto is back with ALEC, this time in Oregon and the bought whores of that
state. The definition of whore used here is ‘someone who is paid to fu*k you’.

Today Oregon legislators and Governor John Kitzhaber will
decide whether they will do the bidding of out of state multinational biotech
seed giants like Monsanto and Syngenta or whether they will stand up to protect
Oregon's family farmers and the future of our seed supply.
